Chapter 225 Daozi makes a plan
Xiao He said it in detail, and it sounded like everything was out of accident.
Because Liu Fei was unattended, he became addicted to gambling. Then he owed a lot of gambling debts, so he fled to Qi County to hide.
Next, he met Kong Xi.
When the Santian Rebellion happened, Liu Fei rebelled with Kong Xi...
There seemed to be no doubt. But Liu Kan felt that all this was too natural and normal made him have to doubt it.
There are two suspicious points: First, although Liu Ji is not as idle as before, he is still the leader of the gangsters in Pei County. Moreover, Liu Ji is now an official and has a small status in Pei County. Even if Liu Fei is not disciplined, Liu Ji cannot be unaware of Liu Fei's affairs?
Based on Liu Kan's understanding of Liu Ji, although this person is a rogue, he is also an ambitious person.
Otherwise, how could Emperor Gaozu of Han, who came from later generations, sing such a heroic saying as "The wind is rising and the clouds are flying, how can you get a strong man to guard the four directions?" This guy is lustful, addicted to alcohol, and does not do his job properly all day long, but he can grasp the right measure in some things.
Long before the Sishui Huadiao appeared, there was a gambling hall in Pei County.
Liu Ji also wanted to gamble twice, but he had never heard of him owing gambling debts. Is Liu Ji's gambling skills so clever that he will win every gambling?
Absolutely impossible!
The only explanation is that Liu Ji was able to control himself, so he was not deeply involved in it.
In the casino, nine out of ten gambling have been cheated since ancient times. It is no accident that Liu Fei could owe such a gambling debt that could allow him to escape without Liu Ji's awareness. Someone is guiding him to gamble, and he deceived the truth and induce him under Liu Ji's nose.
Otherwise, how could Liu Ji not come forward to stop him?
This is one of them.
The second point is even more interesting... Liu Fei was penniless and after fleeing to Qi County, how could he quickly collude with the rebel Kong Xi?
According to Xiao He, when Liu Fei fled to Qi County, Tian Antian among the three fields had already been awarded the title, and only Tian Fu was left to survive. At that time, Liu Kan was in Pingyang, and of course he knew that some thieves were posing as rebels and causing trouble everywhere. After Sishui County and Donghai County sent troops, these things were quickly suppressed. The big bandits were quickly wiped out by the official army.
The rest are small bandits.
But how did Liu Fei collude with these bandits?
Liu Kan was puzzled by these two questions...
In fact, Liu Kan is no longer as afraid and worried about Liu Ji like when he first came to this era.
People are always growing.
At the beginning, Liu Kan was very unfamiliar with this era. At this time, a famous person who was well-known in later generations appeared in front of him. This person was not only a celebrity, but also a generation of emperors who created the Han Dynasty for four hundred years. Later generations praised Liu Bang and criticized many mysterious stories. The Snake Killing Uprising, the Son of the Red Dragon, and many other stories made Liu Kan feel frightened.
Then now, Liu Kan is already familiar with this era.
From having nothing to being a 12th-level civil servant, now with thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. Behind him are Fusu Mengtian's support, with a wealth of wealth and a thousand hectares of good land... Wu has Guan Ying, Zhonglimei, Wen has Chen Ping, Kuai Che, all of whom are heroes. With tens of thousands of people under Lou Cang, and with the support of Shu Zhong and the former Wu Chen family, he even has friends with Ren Xiao, the commander of the Qin army in southern Xinjiang.
The people you come into contact with are either local officials or heroes of the times.
The vulgar peddler and the amazingly knowledgeable scholars... With a high vision, the perspective of looking at this world is naturally different from that of ordinary people.
Liu Ji is just a scoundrel!
For Liu Kan, how could he be afraid of a scoundrel? Not only would he not be afraid, on the contrary, Liu Bang should be afraid of him.
Therefore, although Liu Kan was still hostile to Liu Ji, he no longer had the intention to kill Liu Ji when he first arrived in Lou Cang. Of course, Liu Kan would not underestimate Liu Ji. This is indeed a character, with a different means than ordinary people, otherwise it would not have been possible to win over many great people around him. Think about it, Fan Kuai followed Liu Kan to get rich and was unwilling to give up Liu Ji easily.
This itself is enough to illustrate Liu Bang's cleverness.
Liu Kan was pondering and silent in the study. After a while, the footsteps sounded, and Chen Ping and Kuai Che hurried into the room.
After a year of absence, Chen Ping became clearer and clearer.
Standing there, the whole person seemed to be hidden in the clouds, making people unable to see through his heart.
"Lord, what's the matter with calling Daozi?"
Chen Ping's name for Liu Kan was a change that occurred after Liu Kan moved the building from Pingyang to Ping'an.
In Chen Ping's words, he is Liu Kan's aide. Liu Kan is the lord, he is the minister... The title of the lord is obviously not suitable for Liu Kan, and it sounds like a businessman. Only the title of lord is the most suitable. Regardless of what others think, at least that's what Chen Ping calls it. Because he is an in-house minister, he is mostly hidden behind Liu Kan and has no scruples when he calls Liu Kan. However, when Kuai Che and others want to call Liu Kan "Lord", they can only be in a private place without anyone else. Otherwise, something will inevitably happen.
"Daozi, sit!"
Liu Kan waved his hand and signaled Chen Ping to sit down.
Chen Ping was not polite either. After bowing a gift, he sat down.
"Do you know what I'm looking for?"
Liu Kan stood up, poured two cups of wine, and delivered it to Chen Ping and Kuai Che.
Kuai Che did not say a word, held the wine, put it next to his mouth and took a sip, then quietly observed Chen Ping with a smile in his eyes.
Chen Ping and Kuai Che are both strategists.
But the directions of the two people's responsibility are different.
However, when Liu Kan suddenly asked him to call Chen Ping over, Kuai Che vaguely guessed some clues.
Chen Ping nodded, "I know!"
He paused, and then continued, "It was exactly what Daozi did."
Ha, it's really fun...
Liu Kan couldn't help laughing, "I think about it all over the place. I'm afraid that the person who can be so deliberate in order to get rid of Liu Ji is probably the only one who is me."
It is natural that Liu Kan could not forget that on the way back from Northern Xinjiang, he had murderous intent on Liu Bang because of Fan Kuai's incident. Chen Ping was there at that time, so he entrusted Chen Ping to try to win over Fan Kuai. To win over Fan Kuai, Liu Bang must be killed first. This was also the consensus between Liu Kan and Chen Ping at that time... So Liu Kan handed over this matter to Chen Ping. However, after returning from Northern Xinjiang, he quickly went to Ba County. Later, the Santian Rebellion occurred. If it were not for doubt, Liu Kan would have even forgotten about this matter.
Chen Ping said: "After the lord went to Ba County, I secretly went to Pei County and secretly observed Liu Ji."
"Oh, what's the result?"
Chen Ping was silent for a while, "Liu Ji cannot be underestimated. Now, he is not famous and indecent. However, he is trapped in the diving and the tiger falls into the sun... He has great ambitions and knows the art of forbearance. Lord, don't underestimate the word "官网". Throughout history, how many heroes have been made in this word "官网" and how many heroes have been destroyed in this word "官网"? You must be warned.
Speaking of which, this person has no chance or conditions.
But in the future, this person will definitely do something... Daozi thinks that this person cannot be kept, nor can he stay, otherwise it will cause great trouble.
It’s just that the lord wanted to bribe Fan Kuai, so some of the methods that were not obvious could not be used. Liu Ji has been very cautious in the past few years and did not give anyone a verbal statement. If he was forced to remove it, it would backfire and might make Fan Kuai feel resentful. I stayed in Pei County for three months and found that Liu Fei was a flaw, so I started to arrange it."
Chen Ping talked endlessly, and Liu Kan and Kuai Che listened quietly.
"Liu Fei is suspicious by nature and is very smart. He once learned swordsmanship with Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo, and his martial arts skills are not bad, and he is quite like Liu Ji's style back then.
But he seemed to have a lot of resentment towards his lord and the Lu family, so he refused to stay at home all day long and wandered around Pei County..."
Liu Kan was stunned, raised his hand to stop Chen Ping, and asked in confusion: "Slow down. I have never seen this Liu Fei before. Why does he have resentment towards me? Also, if it is said that because of something a few years ago, I would rather understand that he has resentment towards me, but why do he have resentment towards the Lu family?"
What happened a few years ago naturally refers to the night when Liu Kan and Lu Chou got married.
That day, Liu Bang, Lu Wan and Fan Kuai almost died at the hands of Liu Kan. If Lu Zhi had not taken action and begged Xiao He to come forward, how could Liu Bang live to this day? So it is understandable that Liu Fei resented Liu Kan; but resenting Lu Zhi would be a little confused.
Chen Ping smiled, "Do you remember that in the 27th year of the First Emperor, the lord and his son accompanied the Lü family from Shan’s father to Pei County, and they encountered bandits when they encountered bandits?"
Of course Liu Kan remembers it!
Because it was during that time that he was reborn in a dead person and then began his life in this era.
Chen Ping said: "The person who attacked the lord on the way that day was done by Liu Ji and others... At that time, Liu Ji's mistress, Liu Fei's mother, Cao, was killed. Lord, speaking of this, Liu Fei, and you, and the Lu family, have a grudge against killing their mother, how can we not complain?"
Liu Kan opened her mouth wide and looked at Chen Ping blankly. She hadn't spoken for a long time.
No wonder……
No wonder when the school meeting Liu Ji for the first time, Fan Kuai and others had deep resentment towards him. So that's how it was!
Then Liu Fei hated him, and it was normal for the Lu family.
However, from this matter, Liu Kan was more respectful to Liu Bang. This guy actually married Lu Zhi like he was fine.
I don’t know if the situation in history is the same?
If this is the case, then it would be unreasonable for Liu Bang to ignore Lu Zhi later.
God knows that the truth is sometimes lost in the long river of history. Liu Kan frowned and thoughtful, and had not spoken for a long time.
"Does Ah Zhi know about this?"
"Miss Lu is not sure about this matter." Chen Ping smiled and said, "In fact, many of the people who participated in this matter died in the bloody battle in Zhaoyang Daze. Most of the people who survived were Liu Ji's confidants. Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, Lu Wan were devoted to Liu Ji."
Kuai Che said, "That's the case, how did you know about this?"
"Does your lord still remember Wang Su's this person?"
Liu Kan shook her head and said, "Wang Su? I have no impression..."
"Wang Niu is from Fengyi and also Liu Ji's accomplice at that time. The bloody battle between Zhaoyang Daze was so Wang Niu also participated! However, he lost one arm and became a useless person. Liu Ji took care of him at first, but later he didn't care about him. Wang Niu was very dissatisfied with Liu Ji... I met Wang Niu by chance in Peixian. This guy was poor and was forced to be desperate by the people in the gambling hall.
I paid back the gambling account for him and placed his mother in the Lou Cang, so Wang Su became my man.”
Liu Kan and Kuai Che looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
No wonder Liu Fei owed a lot of debt. It turned out that Wang Su was carrying him... If so, everything would be over. No one would have thought that Wang Su, who was devoted to Liu Ji in the past, would turn his head in the back and stab Liu Ji hard.
"Where is Wang Su now?" Kuai Che asked immediately.
"Old Kuai, don't worry." Chen Ping said: "When the Lord sanctioned the Santian Rebellion, I secretly sent Wang Nu to Jiangyang. Although this guy lost an arm, he was still very useful. He was very sensible and had strong force. Shen Shishi's Cao Wushang, and A Li and others were familiar with Wang Nu, and they could control him... Besides, Wang Nu's mother is in my hands. He is very filial, how dare you cause trouble?"
What a Chen Daozi, he is indeed meticulous!
